Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 481 More Than One

Feng Jin's complexion changed, and she stopped having petty temper tantrums with Wuming, and quickly asked, "What's going on? When did you hear the news?"

"I just received it from General Qi."

General Qi in Tang Jun's mouth refers to Qi Che. Feng Jin and Wuming have been guarding Jiangdong King before, and there are two guards outside Jiangdong King's fief. Feng Jin sent Qi Che Che went to guard because he was worried that King Jiangdong would rebel, so he sent his most trusted Qi Che there. Unexpectedly, King Jiangdong really rebelled.

"What about the news? Show me."

Tang Jun presented the note to Feng Jin.

The message was indeed sent by Qi Che, in his handwriting, it was sent the night before, and it was received early this morning.

It's just that the handwriting is very scribbled. It seems that Qi Che sent this letter to Feige in a panic.

From Jiangdong, the fiefdom of the King of Jiangdong, to the imperial capital, it is almost two thousand miles. It took the pigeons a day and two nights to fly to the imperial capital. Many things can happen in one day and two nights. I don't know how the situation in Jiangdong is now.

Generally, the fiefdom of Fanwang is only one state, at most two states, or three states, but Jiangdong King is the youngest son of the Empress Dowager, and he is a compatriot with the first emperor and mother. Under the preference of the Empress Dowager, the entire Jiangdong It was granted to the King of Jiangdong. There are eleven states, and all of them are rich and fertile.

Jiangdong is located in the easternmost part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is adjacent to the sea on one side and the land on the other. However, if the emperor wanted to send troops there, he had to pass through a wide, deep, and fast-flowing river. It can be defended, if the army is defeated, all the bridges on the Dongjiang River will be cut off, and the King of Jiangdong will hide in Jiangdong, completely self-sufficient.

Feng Jin originally planned to reduce Jiangdong King's fief little by little after he settled down, but he didn't expect him to start it in advance. Did he know his plan?

"Let me see."

Wuming said, Feng Jin handed him the note.

Wuming put down the note after reading it, and said to Tang Jun, "Call the six ministers to the Imperial Study Room for discussion, and also call Pei Xiu."

Li Yi has returned to the imperial capital and continues to be his Minister of War.

Just as Tang Jun was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and looked at Feng Jin, Feng Jin nodded slightly, "If the emperor tells you to go, go."

Two quarters of an hour later, the six ministers and Pei Xiu gathered in the imperial study. On the way, they had already heard the secret guard about Jiangdong King's rebellion.

When Wuming stepped into the imperial study room, the seven people greeted them, and just about to say hello, seeing Feng Jin behind Wuming, the seven people were startled, and hurriedly said, "I will see Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Although the emperor has been in charge of the government recently, and the empress has almost ignored everything, this country is surnamed Feng after all. The reason why the emperor is an emperor is because there is an empress. If the empress is not happy, the emperor will no longer be an emperor. .

Those who can sit in this position are all human beings, who don't understand the key point, if the empress is not there, then naturally listen to the emperor, but the empress is here...

"Get up, act urgently, and those vain rituals will be avoided."

Feng Jin sat down on the dragon chair, raised her hand slightly, and the ministers stood up one after another.

The dragon chair is very wide, so there is no problem for two people to sit. Feng Jin waited for a while, but she didn't see Wuming sitting down together. She looked at Wuming who was standing with her hands down, and was startled, "Wuming, why don't you sit?"

Wuming's eyes flickered slightly, and then he sat down.

Seeing the expressions of the ministers as they should have been, Feng Jin felt a little uncomfortable.

At that time, the reason why she didn't want to name Wuming as the emperor's husband, but came up with a new title of emperor, was to let Wuming be on an equal footing with herself.

However, it is only now that I realize that it is usually fine, but if there is a dispute between her and Wuming, the ministers are afraid that they will all favor her, then what is the point of her wanting to share power with Wuming and sit on an equal footing?
However, there is no point in entangled with this now, the most urgent thing is Jiangdong Wang's business.

"Everyone, please tell me, what do you think?"

The seven of them looked at each other, Feng Jin sighed softly, "It's a critical moment, so don't look at me and you, talk quickly."

There was a moment of silence in the imperial study, and Lord Qi spoke first, "Since it was the news from General Qi, there is nothing wrong with it. King Jiangdong must have rebelled. He was already ambitious and focused on the Dragon Chair. Zhou had just finished defeating the Xiongnu, and the Zhong family army was leaderless and scattered all over the country. The army of Da Zhou was exhausted and chaotic, and Jiangdong Wang chose to rebel at this time, which was considered a good time. Otherwise, wait another year and a half. The army stabilized, and the newly recruited soldiers were able to fight. If the king of Jiangdong rebelled, there would be no chance of winning.

Song Ming continued, "Lord Qi is right. As long as King Jiangdong is not stupid and wants the throne, now is the best time. But..."

Song Ming paused for a moment, and Feng Jin took a deep look at him, "Just say what you have to say, there is no need to hide it."

"However, Lord Qi also said that the army of Dazhou is now tired, chaotic, and unwilling to fight, and the recruits are still unable to go to the battlefield. The king of Jiangdong has planned for so many years. The land of the eleven states of Jiangdong is fertile. The king's army is well-equipped with strong soldiers and strong horses. Compared with the two, it is really..."

Song Ming didn't go on, everyone present understood what he meant, Pei Xiu looked at Li Yi, "Da Zhou's army is scattered all over the place, how long will it take to gather together, get rid of the defenses everywhere, can they How many people are used?"

On the way here, Li Yi has already thought about this question. The Queen and the Emperor will definitely ask him how many troops he can use if the Jiangdong King rebelled. If he can't even answer such questions, he will not even want to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. up.

"It will take a month to gather them all. When we fought against the Huns earlier, there were some minor turmoil in various places, and a lot of local sergeants were lost. We have to make up for it. Seven deductions and eight deductions. The fully usable force is about 13. Left and right. Also, the two military guards closest to Jiangdong have [-] troops each, and the combined total is [-]."

"With a force of 13, no matter how powerful the King of Jiangdong is, the eleven prefectures of Jiangdong cannot support [-] troops. This battle must be won."

Mr. He, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said with a smile on his face, and the rest of the people also looked relaxed, except Pei Xiu.

Feng Jin took a deep look at Pei Xiu, "Pei Aiqing has something to say?"

Pei Xiu hesitated again and again before saying, "I think that the two guards are afraid that they have already broken."

Lord He laughed, "How is it possible? One of the military guards is led by the brave and talented General Qi, how could he fail?"

Feng Jin and Wuming glanced at each other, their thoughts were almost the same as Pei Xiu's.

King Jiangdong has been lurking for so many years, and Qi Che has been to Jiangdong's military guard for a long time. If it is found out that King Jiangdong secretly dispatched troops, Qi Che's handwriting will not be so scribbled, and the news will not be so simple. There is only one sentence Words: The king of Jiangdong is rebellious.

I'm afraid that King Jiangdong has already led his troops into the military guard, and Qi Che could only send such news in an emergency.

But, how did Pei Xiu know?
Feng Jin just glanced at Pei Xiu, and Pei Xiu understood what she was thinking, and explained, "I have been fighting with King Jiangdong for so many years, and I know this person well. He couldn't even fight in. If he was just secretly dispatching troops or something, Qi Che would not be able to find out, unless the Jiangdong King had already led troops to fight over. Therefore, Wei Chen felt that the two military guards could no longer be kept. "

Lord Qi's face suddenly became very ugly, he mumbled his old lips, hesitant to speak.

The imperial study room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

Feng Jin's heart was heavy. Based on her understanding of Qi Che, even if Qi Che had a little more time, he would not just write that one sentence.

"I received a letter from Fei Ge. Jiangdong is two thousand miles away from the imperial capital. Qi Che's message was sent the night before yesterday. He only wrote one sentence: The king of Jiangdong is rebellious! It can be seen how hasty it is. If the postman is eight hundred miles away If you rush to send the military report to the imperial capital, you can receive the detailed military report tomorrow morning at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Feng Jin looked at Wuming, Wuming signaled her to feel relieved, and said loudly, "20 Xiongnu cavalry have been beaten back by us, what is a mere Jiangdong King? Ladies and gentlemen, just relax, this battle will definitely Don't worry about winning, Qi Aiqing, Qi Che is extremely smart and capable, so nothing will happen."

Pei Xiu frowned and said, "I'm afraid, it's not just the King of Jiangdong."

Feng Jin's heart skipped a beat, "You mean—"
